ROFL at the worst pop lyrics ever

[GiantSquirrelSpotter]

Apparantly Desiree "life" has one

But I liked that culture club

"War is stupid
and people are stupid
and ... [something else] is stupid
and ...[lalallala] stupid"

Definitely my fave

My dh is a proclaimers fan who could have a whole thread to themselves but my fav is from a song called over and done with which begins "this is the story of our first teacher, Shetland made her jumper and the devil made her features" and ends with "I just washed my hands
Then I went for my dinner" Class the sad thing is that its so catchy!

This year's UK Eurovision entry takes some beating for daft lyrics. (Nothing new there then!) I saw it performed for the first time last night. All those asides about salted nuts and something to suck on before landing - made me choke on my pretzels I hope they keep those bits in when they do it for real next week.

The Hits channel is showing the best pop princesses right now. This survey appears to miss Shakira
"lucky that my breasts are small and humble so you don't confuse them with mountains."
Of course - I have that problem with my 36Cs all the time.

I take your Father Abraham abd the Smurf song and raise you
"I cry when my cat gets blown away"

and

"beer, beer smurfing beer
you don't get drunk and it isn't dear"

or
I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

love Birdcage in your soul.....it is the only pop song in the history of the universe that has the words, 'Like Jason and his countless screaming Argonauts'

Class!

What about Lloyd Cole?

she's got cheekbones like geometry and eyes like sin
and she's sexually enlightened by cosmopolitan

i took a fishhead out to see a movie, didn't have to pay to get it in.

actually that's a good lyric

You make the sun shine brighter then Doris Day.

Wake me up before you go go by WHAM

One of the best put-downs I have ever heard was this daft girl at university going on and on and on about Prefab Sprout - such tortured genius - such intelligent, perceptive lyrics...at which point my friend, without missing a beat, said "Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque..."

Have to say, that while I thought Sting's Russians was pure genius when I was about 14, I now think the lyrics sound like they were written by a 14 year old...

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us me and you
Is that the Russians love their children too

Puhleeeease!

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

The Wedding Present (yes I loved my indie ), Kennedy: "Lost your love of life? Too much apple pie
Oh have you lost your love of life? Too much apple pie
And now Harry's walked away with Johnny's wife
You've got to pick some people up
You've got to let some people go
But if Lee's name does come up
Oh well I really want to know
Because everybody loves a TV show"

Kate Bush (from Aerial)

Washing Machine,
Washing Machine,
Washing Machine,
Washing Machine

ha i like that one laboheme wishy washy!

Pink martini - thanks for that link to alanis morrisette, everyone should watch it! It's very good, haunting and thought provoking post-feminist parody, methinks

Oh I had forgotten about birdhouse in your soul - I loved it so much and the Smurfing beer song for that matter!

omg! the birdhouse song LOVED that
